Indestructible Paint’s ColourTherm Range of Thermal Indicating Coatings

ColourTherm is Indestructible Paint Ltd.’s range of high-performance heat sensitive, colour changing coatings.

Thermochromic Coatings

Our specialist range of thermochromic paints are designed to change colour at specific temperatures giving a visual indication of a temperature change. They can be used in many temperature critical areas, including acting as safety indicators on thermally sensitive substrates, indicating thermal history, such as on reaction vessels to indicate hot spots and internal insulation failures for chemical and petrochemical industries and as safety measures in R&D development programmes.

How does our colour change paint work?

The colour change is non-reversible within this coating range. The paints function by the action of chemical change within solid components of the coating.

These high-performance thermal-indicating coatings are designed to be thermally stable when used below their first temperature change level. When the coatings approach their first colour change, the reaction will occur quickly at the specified temperature or gradually if the paint is held within a few tens of degrees of the change temperature.
